Chapter 410: Salvation and Faith
Lockeves' words were addressed to the 100,000 faithful in Temple Square.
As for the words of the true god Loxives, all the believers present secretly took it to heart, and many of them aimed at Protos in their hearts, hoping that one day the Dalus people would catch up with them.
Of course, it is also because most of them belong to civilians or ordinary research scholars, and they can't often come into contact with the first-line secret information, so they don't know the real strength gap between the Dalus and the Protos, so because of the encouragement of the gods, this simple idea was born immediately.
Not to mention the believers on the altar and the priests, the 100,000 original pseudo-believers under the stage were the first to enter a state of fanaticism at this time.
Some time ago, the brainwashing beliefs of those priests and government officials were wildly surging at this moment, and the words that they originally disdained or even pretended to be perfunctory in exchange for a temporary comfortable life seemed to be all true at this moment.
Zhilia was a feared thug who carried the lives of a dozen Dallos civilians and even killed the sheriff of Talos.
The first time he killed, he was terrified, because of the mockery and insults, the second time, it was just a heartbeat, and the result was an uneven distribution of the spoils, the third time he was on the run, and the deceased was a magistrate, the fourth, fifth...
Until a few months ago, for the ninth time, just because of the mutual scraping of civilian flying cars, the other party made disrespectful remarks, and Zhilia, who was already lacking sleep and irritable, directly took out a kinetic gun and shot at the other party's flying car.
When the rear cockpit door of the other party's speeding car fell off, he saw the two little Dalus girls who died in the back seat, only two or three years old at most, which is the age of climbing among Dalus.
I don't know why, Zhilia collapsed, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that his hands were covered with blood and emitted a deep fishy smell, and he chose to turn himself in.
Even in terms of the relatively lenient laws of civilization in the Dallos Empire, Zhilia could be considered heinous, and he had no idea of exculpating himself, and even refused the right to defend himself.
In my heart, I just blindly want to end my life quickly.
Until a priest appeared and said that Zhilia could still be redeemed, which originally embodied the hope in his heart.
But in the period that followed, after seeing what the so-called salvation was, all that remained in Zhilia's heart was mockery.
Absurd, foolish... He couldn't think of any other adjective, and he had to live a day at a time.
But at this moment, looking at the bright eyes in the sky, those eyes seemed to be looking at him, looking at his heart, looking at his memory, looking at everything he had experienced, and the sins he had committed.
From childhood to the present, every wrong thing is revealed, some of which cause him to smile, and some of which cause him to be deeply afraid.
But in the process, a warm feeling rises from the bottom of my heart, just like a childhood scene in my memory, I accidentally broke my mother's favorite ornament, and waited for my parents to get off work in panic.
That night, when my parents returned from work, their anger turned into warm comfort when they saw Zhilya's frightened expression.
'That warmth, that's that warmth!'
'All the sins I have committed will be forgiven by the gods, and there will still be goodness in my heart, and the gods will respond to the souls who can still be saved, and the gods still love me!'
Among the 100,000 original false believers, there are not many or few villains as serious as Zhilia, and such thoughts account for most of them, and these words were originally the words of the priests when they were brainwashed, and perhaps these priests themselves sometimes did not believe that these villains would be saved.
But at this time, some of the villains who were originally heinous and did all kinds of evil saw the clear and bright eyes in the sky, and everyone began to feel "warmth".
"What does it feel like? It's so weird, it's so reassuring... ”
One of the worshippers under the altar could not help but express their doubts, and stood right next to Zhilia.
The corners of the latter's eyes had begun to tear, and he glanced at the young "parishioner" next to him.
"Remember what those priests said?"
"It's ~ salvation!"
An invisible light, or rather a light that only one's own heart can feel, arises in the heart of every believer who has made a great mistake and still has a heart of repentance.
This is the spiritual purification performed by Lockseves, as long as you still have a trace of conscience, as long as you have even the slightest remorse in your heart, you can turn into a warm purifying light.
And the general intelligent race, as an emotionally rich existence, is truly and completely heinous people, strictly speaking, there is no such thing.
This kind of spiritual purification can be achieved in the earth circle by a variety of means because of psionic energy and various fantasy races, but it is illegal to do so in the earth circle, because it is essentially a kind of brainwashing, and it is a very thorough brainwashing, experts and scholars believe that it will obliterate the freedom of thought and the independence of personality, even if the person is a villain.
Moreover, human criminology scholars believe that a crime is a crime, even if you repent and are willing to be a new person in your heart, sorry, this opportunity is not something you want to have, first of all, you have to suffer the sanctions that belong to you.
But on the alien planet, there is no such concern at all.
The atmosphere under the altar in the temple square completely changed after a few moments.
This situation was most evident among the soldiers guarding the perimeter.
The original 100,000 people, even if they were wearing white robes with their bare hands, still had many of them want to raise their guns and shoot when they looked at them.
But at this moment, it was different, Zhen Lin's unruly expression disappeared, and in those who were originally extremely vicious, the soldiers saw a peaceful expression.
Viciousness is only a protective color. This sentence rose in the heart of the control center at this moment, and he had never grasped its meaning as he did now.
Loxives, who seemed to be in the sky, but was actually in another dimension, suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and the psionic elves gave him a strange message.
There is something that is also between the virtual and the real, supported by faith, which is not like energy, but more like some complex and changing silk symbols, but emits a faint but clear light.
This quickly attracted Wu Wei's attention, combined with the events that happened before and after, it is difficult not to think that this thing is related to faith, maybe it is the so-called "power of faith".
Unfortunately, Lockeves could not absorb these things, and that would be true, because these threads and symbols of light were like iron filings attracted by magnets.
I don't know how to use what is called "the power of faith."
